My Empire of Dirt (TNverse)

[theladyscribe]

Title: My Empire of Dirt
Characters: Dean, Jo, Ash, mention of Sam (Dean/Jo)
Rating: R for language, sex, and some disturbing images
Word Count: 1162
Warnings: dark!fic, implied character death
Summary: By the time they arrive back at the Roadhouse, Jo is bone-weary and Dean looks as if he hasn’t slept in weeks. Ash is waiting for them, and he takes in the two of them with one glance before looking down and away.
Notes: Part of the TNverse, which deviates from canon after the events of “No Exit.” Familiarity with the ‘verse is not absolutely necessary, though you should probably read And the World Was Better for This first. Title is from Johnny Cash’s “Hurt.” Many thanks to kaleidoscopeday, neetha, and ultraviolet9a for the beta, hand-holding, and reassurance as I wrote this.
